NYTimes Killed Story on Crooked Obama Donor:

Why because it was a game changer and might "HURT" obama's campaign!

According to election fraud lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh, The New York Times decided suddenly to drop all efforts last October to publish stories about the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) because it came to light that ACORN was a big donor to then presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign.

Heidelbaugh, who worked for the Penn. Republican State Committee in a vote fraud lawsuit against ACORN, told a House Judiciary subcommittee on March 19 that she had found a close link between ACORN, Project Vote and the Obama campaign through the inside information from former ACORN worker Anita Moncrief.

Washington Times - Conyers suggests probe of ACORN


Conyers suggests probe of ACORN
Calls fraud charges 'serious'


In an startling partisan shift, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. on Thursday proposed holding hearings on claims the liberal activist group ACORN engaged in a pattern of crimes ranging from voter fraud to a mob-style “protection” racket.

Mr. Conyers, Michigan Democrat and fierce partisan, suggested a congressional probe after scathing testimony about the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) during a hearing on various voting issues related to the 2008

The testimony by Pittsburgh lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh accused the nonprofit group of violating tax, campaign-finance and other laws by, among other things, sharing with the Barack Obama campaign a list of the Democrat's maxed-out campaign donors so ACORN could use it to solicit them for a get-out-the-vote drive.

She also testified that the Democrat-allied group provided liberal causes with protest-for-hire services and coerced donations from targets of demonstrations through a shakedown it called the “muscle for the money” program.

If you've ever heard ACORN'S spokesperson, you would realize that they are one of the slimiest organizations ever.

No surprise. Only surprise will be if there is actually a real investigation of Acorn.

I'm sure this is not the only story they buried on obama.

The day the old gray lady shuts her doors for good will be wondrous.

Didn't ACORN get money from the stimulus package too? Smells fishy.

Waiting with baited breath for the SEIU/DNC gang to show up here and tell us how wrong we are and how it's just a GOP slime tactic... Maybe after they're done with the bowl of organic granola and have enough solar power to light up the computer...
